Chipotle Adobo Sauce

When a recipe calls for adobo sauce or chipotles in adobo, this is a DIY that is easy and fresh. It will allow you to use as much or as little sauce as you would like, and it's got a long lifespan so you can safely keep it for a while. We made a sauce by blending all of the chiles. If you want whole or chunked chiles in your adobo sauce, just blend half of the chiles when you reach step 2, and add the remaining chiles in step 5.

This is a handy sauce to make that will add smoky, chipotle chile flair to a wide range of dishes. It can be used as a base for a Mexican pizza or tossed into the filling for stuffed peppers. You can even take a spoonful of this to jazz up a bloody Mary. It can be stored for up to one month in the refrigerator, and freezes well for future use.
